Conjured You Up

I don't seek a white knight
a life partner would be nice

someone to curl up with
and discuss the life situations that bring me strife

Sprinkle that partner with humor
give him a dash of debonair

And don't forget a dose of silly
not one who puts on airs. 

Give him his inner mojo
a healthy dose of pride

Make him well read
and not vacant inside

A handsome countenance is pleasant
but a skilled one more replete

After all its not show and tell
its show and do and then rinse and repeat! 

To live with me he needs to have humor
my foibles they are more than a few

I promise to set a good table
and to make him feel amused. 

He must appreciate art 
and if he is a creator himself so much the better

And he must love kids and pets
our life like a short from Art Linkletter. 

And now that I have laid it out, 
I know I conjured him up from my past.

Because he arrived intact 
he's still the same and we have our time at last. 

44 years was a long time apart. 
Though we had brushes of time together.

So don't forget it's our time now. Let's get er done!
